Just finished the new engine install in my 86 a couple weeks ago and fired it up. Still in the break-in period, so I haven't really opened it up all the way. But I can tell it is very strong. Haven't had it dyno'd or chip burned yet. In the meantime, here is a list of the mods:
*Bored to 355 cid
*Dbl. roller timing chain
*Crane cam part # 114132 (210/216 @ 0.50, 400/454 lift)
*Crane Gold Series Racing roller rockers 1.5
*11.25:1 cpr. Sealed power pistons (was supposed to be 10.5, but engine builder miss calc'd when he ordered pistons. Yes I use octane booster!)
*Trick flow heads 56cc chambers
*Ported & Port mached stock base manifold
*Taylor spark plug wires
*BBK afpr set to 47 psi
*TPS set to .60v
*TPiS coated long tube headers
* 2 1/2" mandrel bent dual exhaust
* AC delete pulley & Smog delete pulley
Stock runners, plenum, injectors & throttle body - for now
For the moment it is shade tree tuned. Once I get it dyno'd next month, I'll keep you posted. Would love to post pic's, but I'm photo post illiterate:confused
